Happy Hump Day!

am: fish pill, catalyst pill and water

30 minutes later: instant maple oatmeal, small coffee with fat full caramel creamer and water. Off to work with my Spark.

Another slow day so I chose to skip my meal replacement drink again due to the fact I had break about an hour after I got there. My boss lost like a million pounds and inches and only just started the cleanse. Don’t get me wrong I’m super happy for him but I only lost five pounds and worked very hard at this in the beginning. I’m a little discouraged here. Left work early so I didn’t get the full work workout!

Dinner: Fattening chicken enchiladas, made with grilled chicken, cream cheese, chipotle cheese, corn tortillas and topped with green enchilada sauce, and water. Delicious, why can’t food that’s good for you taste like that. Then went for a nice walk, stopped at the store and got an after Easter Reese’s peanut butter egg. It’s true I’m hopeless.  Got home had a great big glass of water, but its inevitable I’m gonna have a small coffee with fat full caramel creamer and a small strawberry cheesecake desert.

Off tomorrow wish me luck, I’ll need it. The adventures of Granny Panty aren’t going to good.

Never got a chance to post yesterday. My granddaughters birthday was awesome. She had a great day. I was pretty good except I had 2 medium ice caramel coffees from Dunkin, cheese puffs, olives, cupcake, turkey sandwich on one  slice whole wheat bread, and water. That was just at the party, then when I got home I had a cube steak with ketchup, a salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and water. I was a little bit disappointed nobody even noticed that I lost some weight. I said ” Didn’t you notice I lost five pounds and three inches” and everyone is like yes you look thinner, with that bull crap false, after the fact, now that you mention it response. I know I still have a long way to go, before anyone really notices. I’m doing it for me anyways so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Today am: fish pill, catalyst and water.

30 minutes later: two eggs, slice of honey wheat toast, small coffee with fat free half and half and water. Off to work with spark.

It was a slow Monday. I forgot my pedometer so can’t give an actual account of how few steps, miles and calories were burned. I hope it’s nice weather tomorrow, maybe I can get a good walk in.

Even though it was slow I got my lunch break about a half hour after I got to work so I wasn’t hungry, willingly skipped my vanilla meal replacement drink. (Sure if it was a vanilla ice coffee or a donut I wouldn’t be skipping lunch. You know me so well.)

Dinner: fish pills, catalyst, and water. Three gluten free ginger cookies, chicken sandwich on one slice honey wheat toast, broccoli, salad with lettuce, cucumber, radish, peppers and balsamic vinaigrette, water, small coffee with fat free half and water.

snack: Medium caramel ice coffee, boston cream donut, two gluten free ginger cookies, and four chocolate marshmallow candies. Wow that was a lot of snack! Its good to keep track. I can see I’m going to have to find an exercise program that won’t hurt my back. I like to roller blade, bike ride and play tennis. Bike riding sometimes hurts my back but if I take it slow, the possibilities are endless!

am: nothing. Didn’t want to take any pills today. Yesterday I didn’t feel to good so today I decided to skip them. I’m not used to taking the catalyst again so I’m waiting till I’m off work to start taking them again. I did take the fish pills with breakfast. I had two eggs with dry honey whole wheat toast, small coffee with fat free half and half, and water. Off to work with Spark in hand. Everyone who works on Saturday hates it. For some reason it never goes good or runs smooth. Co workers are always late, call off, or don’t show up. Most Saturdays I come home with either a migraine or just an overall ill feeling. Today was no different. Didn’t get time for my meal replacement shake, or even water. Just ordered steak and cheese hoagie and small pizza from Main Line Pizza and Hoagie shop for dinner. I only ate half the hoagie and 2 cuts of pizza, water and small coffee with fat free half and half. Took an advil pm and took a nap.

Woke up had a small dish of vanilla ice cream with swirls of raspberry and water. Feel much better now. Could go for some candy and a Dunkin Donut coffee. (Dieters beware of impulse shopping and evil cravings!)

steps walked:      18069

calories burned: 487.5

miles walked:      6.77

Maybe I’ll walk down for a medium caramel ice coffee  with cream and sugar, only 260 calories. I only burned 487.5 all day. UGH!

Planning on laying back watching a movie tonight. Big day tomorrow, granddaughters first Birthday party! Woo Hoo Cake Day! Can’t wait to see that Birthday Girl.

Just kidding no fry’s today!

am: done with the max phase so now I’m back to fish pills, catalyst pills and water.

30 minutes later: egg with one slice honey wheat toast, small coffee with fat free half and half. Off to work with spark.

lunch: vanilla meal replacement shake, kept my word to myself to make the time to eat lunch.

dinner: $2.00 Friendly burger special on rye with a small coffee fribble, small coffee with fat free half and half and water.

Good day of exercise 19185 steps

515.9 calories burned

7.19 miles walked

and this is just at work, yea who am I kidding I ‘ll spend the rest of the night in front of my computer. Oh the exciting life of Granny Panty!

Just in case you where wondering the furnace didn’t add any water so its most likely the coil. I’m going to watch this weekend and call on Monday.

Work tomorrow, now I’m off to Skyrim to kill some bandits and dragons. (the secret life of Granny Panty)

am: pills and water

Already finished the max phase but of course I screwed up somewhere and had a couple of pills left, so took them. Had oat cereal with fat free milk small coffee, and water. Waiting for Suburban propane to come to check the furnace. Its been slowly filling itself with water. I was wondering why I didn’t have to add water every other day this winter. Now that its been warmer, I use that phrase in a relative term, I noticed I have to drain instead of add water. You now how in a divorce the woman usually gets the house. Eventually all the so called repairs are ex’s have made or failed to do so, start to crumble. So if you think you have won in a divorce to easily its probably because your ex was a so called handy man and he just sits back and waits for the cookie or house to crumble! The repairmen came around 11:00. I haven’t even showered yet, for fear I’d miss him. They told me to shut one of the valves tonight when I go to bed, mark with tape and check in the morning to see if fills any. It could have a pin hole in the boiler. Will probably be expensive to fix. Chalk one for the ex! On the flip side I won’t be able to afford food so maybe I can loose a couple more pounds. I know your body goes into starvation mode which I heard kills your metabolism. Especially with age. You should never skip meals. Note to self I’m gonna make sure I take the time at work to eat!

lunch: chicken sandwich on one slice honey wheat toast and  water.

about 30 minutes later I was still hungry so I had broccoli, carrots, cauliflower in cheese sauce.

dinner: Friendly’s $2:00 cheese burger on grilled rye bread, more veggies, a   small vanilla fribble, water and a small coffee with fat free half and half and sugar.

snack : boston cream donut

My new favorite term don’t judge me! I’m going to have the same dinner tomorrow and probably Saturday.

I only walked 2198 steps

burned 54.3 calories

and walked 0.82 miles

UGH what a crappy day off, it snowed and my brother in laws friend passed a way from cancer. My brother in law passed last June.

Will try harder tomorrow, at least I know I’ll get more walking in at work. Good night.

Happy Hump Day!

am: pills and water

30 minutes later pills, cold oat cereal with fat free milk, coffee with far free half and half, and water.

Off to work with a Spark!

Busy day. Still have the $2.00 burger special! I can’t imagine why you would order anything instead. Didn’t get a chance to eat my meal replacement shake. So skipped lunch, if I get hungry later I’ll eat that. I bought a $2.00 burger meal for my dinner had it on rye bread with a vanilla fribble. I worked with Sherry and she lost even more weight! She looks fantastic, I’m so proud of her. I didn’t loose any more but didn’t gain any either. It doesn’t surprise me I really do have a hard time losing weight. My other boss started the cleanse  and he already lost three pounds! My sponsor feels bad for me she gave me a modern fitness pedometer, it works with an Iphone or android phone, I have neither. But it’s super cool on its own! I walked 20738  steps, burned 558.0 calories and walked 7.77 miles so far today. I really walk a lot at work. I wonder what I would weigh with an office job lol. Maybe I do take out all the calories in ice cream and food. ( what a great server, to take out the calories for you and gain the weight so you don’t) I need a different job. lol

Today is my last day on the max phase. Score  0 lost and 0 found. I’m going to continue to cut back on what I consume, drink more water, and eat less sugar. I’m absolutely doing the cleanse again in July, that will be the 3 month wait. I’m also going to keep track of my walking and will continue my food diary. The food diary really helps, I hate to write down the bad food I eat but don’t want to lie to you or myself either. I’m trying an honest approach so we can decide if Advocare really helps. I think it does, how about you? Feel free to leave a comment. If I can help just one over weight person or loose weight or even just feel good about themselves I’d be as happy as I would with a donut and a coffee!!!!

Off tomorrow! Yippee! Have to wait for the man to come back to fix my furnace it’s filling itself with water. It must be on a diet too!

am: pills and water

30 minutes later: cinnamon oat cereal with fat free milk, small coffee with fat free half and half and water.

Spark and off for work. I have my Spark again thanks to my favorite manager and sponsor Gloria! She was ordering so she added my Spark to her order. Even if you never try any of the other AdvoCare products you really should at least think about getting the mango strawberry Spark, it gives you tones of energy and tastes delicious. You can go on Gloria’s distributor page at www.advocare.com/140931128  to check out the products or for any questions or concerns you may have.

Today starts the $2.00 burger and small fribble promotion! This is a fantastic promotion. I be getting that one myself, Woo Hoo! I am still able to eat some of the things I want and although I haven’t lost my goal yet I feel confidant that I will. I also know that if I was able to exercise even a little I would reach my goal sooner. My goal is still to weigh 125 pounds, 15 more pounds to lose. I will be doing a great deal of walking this summer. I can see if I’m careful and diligent I will be able to have my cake and eat it too! ( small cake) That is the perfect diet, don’t you agree.

dinner: pills, Friendly’s burger special, small vanilla fribble, small coffee with fat free half and half and water. Better be good for the rest of the night. Off work tomorrow. Still need to make more monetary origami for sweet baby girl. Can’t wait for Sunday!

April 19, 2015

am: pills and water

Weight 140 again! So proud and amazed! Doing the happy dance!

30 minutes later: bowl of cinnamon oat cereal with low fat milk, small coffee with fat free half and half, and water. Off today. Beautiful sun day. Down to my sisters. Got stuck behind a race every street was blocked off, I had to travel an extra half hour to back track to get to her house. That was so annoying! I missed Ann Marie but she brought my sister and I a Dunkin Donut coffee and rolls. Heaven! Then we did some shopping, went back for Ghost and went to the park. It was about 70 degrees out. He loves to go to the park and the walk was good for all of us. Earned my supper KFC! Breast meal with mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and a biscuit and water. Ghost is such a cute dog they gave him a chicken tender, he usually isn’t allowed any table food but my sister made an exception today. She was kind of mad because she said we are cute to and no one gave us free food!!!

Came home had a small coffee with fat free creamer and a nap! In work at 8:30 tomorrow hope I can sleep. Made some monetary origami to put in my granddaughters birthday card. Big 1st birthday party next week. Can’t wait for, you guessed it Cake and Ice cream! lol The adventure of Granny Panty continues!!!

Just had small dish Raspberry ice cream.

30 minutes later: small coffee with fat free creamer cold cinnamon oat cereal with fat free milk and water.

Off to work, only have bottled water left to bring. Exciting day! I never had to use trays to carry out food so I have a lot of concerns. Trays  are heavy and extra heavy with food and dishes on them. This is almost the entire reason I started the AdvoCare diet. I want to loose weight and be healthier so that the trays will not effect my job or health. Friendly’s awhile back came up with all drinks and dirty dishes were to be carried on trays. Every day I worked I would come home with all types of new aches and pains. I was hoping if I was able to get rid of my stomach half of the problem would be gone. It is very hard for an older woman to combat abdominal fat. That is really my problem area. My legs are strong and skinny. I don’t even have a big butt or hips. As I mentioned in earlier posts I do have a weak back. Well to get back to the subject the YMCA which we share a parking lot with  had something going on with food and pony rides so we were slow, I went home early and only used the tray twice. I will just have to wait and see. I’m a terrible worrier! I will get something stuck in my head and worry. I imagine every type of awful scenario that can happen. (Never even considering a good outcome)

I worked with my friend Sherry today. She is awesome. She tells me she was terrible, she had a Hershey bar and cheese on her eggs! Well just between us, you have seen bad, pizza, donuts, candy, hoagies, ice cream! Oh did I forget to mention ice cream. I’ll get to that later. Anyway Sherry asked me to ring in food for her for her lunch. Guess what she wanted. A BROWNIE SUNDAE! I love her she is awesome, yes girls and boys deep down inside where it really counts we all want brownie sundaes. She tried to promise me she wouldn’t have anything else like that for the rest of the month. (I know the month is almost over) Don’t worry, I’m a good friend, I just couldn’t let her do it. I talked her into a smaller version. Now she can have another small one if she should need it!

dinner: Whole grain pasta, with red clam sauce, and zucchini, a small coffee with fat free creamer, water and vanilla ice cream with raspberry syrup swirled in it 160 calories.

Then went for about a mile and a half walk to, confession time, Dunkin Donuts, where I got a small regular coffee and a jelly donut with powdered sugar. You may say bad but there have been times I would ‘ve got a half dozen donuts and a large regular coffee. So good I say! We also stopped at Turkey Hill and got some lottery tickets. Won $28.00 and a free ticket! WOO HOO Now off to watch a movie without snacks!!!!

30 minutes later instant maple oatmeal, small coffee with fat free half and half, two fish pills and water. I don’t think the instant oatmeal was a very good  choice but it only has 160 calories. I was super lazy this morning had to be back to work at 8:00 to clean and get ready for Grand opening. So off to work!

I only have one  coffeechino drink left and no spark. So made the coffeechino to take. They are delicious but more pricey than the Spark!

Friendlys looks awesome! It would remind you of the pictures of the original Friendlys in Massachusetts. The color scheme is red, black and gray. My own kitchen is done in red and gray.  I Love the new look! We did a lot of cleaning and our district manager treated us to pizza hut pizza and wings. I ate two pieces of pizza and one chicken wing. That was super nice of him. Then we finished cleaning , had a meeting and came home. They opened after the meeting but most of us we’re there at 8:00 so it was time to leave. I’m back in tomorrow.

dinner: hamburger with low fat cheese, ketchup, mustard, yellow squash with broccoli lightly buttered, small coffee with fat free half and half, water, two and a half ounces of palmers foiled chocolate Easter eggs. I’m sure it is obvious to everyone but me why I’m not able to lose weight. I swear I’m a victim. What are the chances of your district manager buying you pizza for lunch? I just had to eat some… Oh ya about those foiled eggs, I plead guilty as charged. I’m one of those people who order a million things to eat and get a diet soda to drink with it. Sure I’m all for cutting back where and when I can. I guess my goal will just take a little longer than I anticipated but I really am committed to this! I’ll try harder tomorrow!!!! Forgot my pills, I’m supposed to take them on an empty stomach and its hard to find a time when my stomach is empty. I’m gonna take them before I go to bed. Well it was a good day. Hope you enjoy reading the adventures of Fat Granny Panty! I used to be Fancy Nancy but Fat Granny Panty seems to fit better. lol
